8.8 ICMP configuration v ia Communicato r
About ICMP configuration
Following parameters are available to configure the ICM P:
• Global settings: allows defining name of the IC MP, host nam e (network identifier) and IP address which can be used for com-
munication with external content devices.
• U ser settings: definition o f all users allowed on the ICMP.
• Ser ver settings: definition of access to servers and storage libraries of content (mov ies, K D M, etc.).
• Player settings: Aud io de lay and audio output frequency.
• Audio channel: allows defining the mapping of audio channels (content) on each audio output (AES outputs of the ICMP ).
• Scheduler setting: Enable/Disable scheduler at startup, delays allowed in scheduler m ode and length of schedule history.
• Devices: allows d e fining commun ication ports s ettings, to access external devices c ontrolled by the automation.
• Automation Cues: event cues that are triggered from different sources and to which can be assigned actions to be executed
by the autom ation engine.
• Verify internal clock of the ICMP.
All installation and maintenance operations on the ICMP are performed via Communicator, the Barco config-
uration software. Please refer to the Commu nicator user g uide for further information.
About Default settings
The restore of factory setting is a feature that allows removing all settings performed on the ICMP and replaces them with the default
values set at t he factory. Please refer to the Comm unicator user gu ide for further inform ation.
About the ICMP internal clock
The crystal on the ICMP board that manages the clock shows a certain drift (all crystals do). With the Com m unicator the internal
clock can be adjusted. T his maintenance action should be repea ted every 3 months. Wh en neglected the system will locks up.
From ICM P software version 1.2.1 onwards it is possible to enable N TP (Network Time Protocol). You have to con figure (at instal-
lation) an IP address where the ICMP can find a s ync signal. From then on, and as long as the connection is ac tive, the ICMP will
automatically keep its clock correct. For detailed instructions s ee user guide of the Communic ator.
